Author Description

Product Description for SATB choir unaccompanied This imaginative setting of the well-loved text O little town of Bethleham, by Phillips Brooks, displays McGlade's characteristic rich and expressive harmonies, with their jazz inflections. Opening with a plaintive two-part harmony for upper voices, the scoring expands into lush four- and five-parttextures. McGlade uses swelling dynamics, legato vocal lines, and freely changing metre. O little town of Bethlehem would be a superb choice for Christmas services and concerts. About the Author Becky McGlade studied music at Royal Holloway, University of London, and now leads a busy musical life as a cellist, composer, and piano and cello teacher. She has a unique compositional style that is both engaging and accessible, with fluid vocal lines and unexpected harmonic twists.
